Geo and Lisa have set out on an adventure... to boldly venture forth to places we have never gone before... to unearth what had previously been to us, a hidden food culture in the city we call home, Spokane. Without a doubt, it is truly a pleasure to taste themany wonderful flavors of the world that lay hidden like treasure in the kitchens of small business owners in nearby neighborhoods until their presence upon the menu catches our eye. Our quest was not to to find the best or the worst... but to try something new, to make new friends and acquaintances and to discover for ourselves more of what life in Spokane is like and what our community has to offer in way of culinary experiences.

The inspiration to embark on such a journey came after several dinner outings where we realized that there were many ethnic foods and extremely nice people who owned restaurants in Spokane. Having found this to be quite remarkable, we simply decided to broaden our horizon, to boldly go where we had never gone before, and keep a log of where we had been, what we ate and what we experienced while we were there.

With time to spend together around the dinner hour and a little lunch money in our pockets that we could give to our community in a "support your local business" type fof way, we began our food trekking journey in and around the city, and even venture out from time to time. It has become our quest, our journey... perhaps even our weird obsession, but whatever it is, whatever you think it may be, it is done with a spirit of adventure, one that we now take with us, everywhere, and wherever we go...

Thai Cuisine... (or Linnie's II)

This fantastic little Thai place was recommended to us by some friends... you know who you are.... : ) While discussing the merits of Thai food... and eating in general, our friends said this is one place that should not be missed. They were right.

Located in a strip mall at 2526 E 29th, it is a little hard to find, but well worth looking for.

The food here is spicy if you order it that way. They do have food sutable to every palet, but if you order it spicy, they do not mess around. We ordered our Tom Ka Gai at a "three" and that was enough for me... (next time I will go for a two!) I have eaten at thai places and ordered a "five" and it was not spicy at all.... This was very true to the typical Thai food spicey scale. Our friend warned us that it would be very hot! He was right on this account also.

This restaurant has been here for 16 years and the name is Thai Cuisine, but it is also called "Linnie's II," at least on the internet....and on the mennu too, but when I asked our server, she told e the name was Thai Cuisine. Apparently, it is a sort of sister restaurant to Linnie's downtown, (another great place to eat Thai food) which is named Linnie's Thai Cuisine. One feature of this place on 29th is that they are a feature restaurant of Thai Select.. This means that the restaurant has been tried and tested by Thai food experts, even won awards for it's authenticity to Thai tradition and flavors. In other words, when you eat here you get the real deal.
